Wildcat Trickster of Tlingit

trickster · United States · North America

Not independently attested as a wildcat trickster in Tlingit tradition. The Tlingit trickster and culture hero is Raven (Yéil), a shapeshifting transformer whose theft of daylight and other exploits are central to Tlingit oral tradition. Wildcats play no trickster role in Tlingit mythology; the entry is a misattribution, likely generated from a generic template.
